Yuliya Martynova

Born in Kazakhstan (Aktau) in 1980, Yuliya attended the city’s art school between the ages of 10 – 15 and was noted as one of their most promising graduates. Her love of art had to take a back seat after she won a prestigious law scholarship and felt pressure to enter the emerging post-soviet era Kazakhstan oil and gas economy. Yuliya worked in the local Kazakh oil & gas industry before accepting a post in Aberdeen. After 2 years there, she relocated in 2007 to London where she has made her long term home.

Her creative ambition was restricted within the corporate world and in April 2015 she took the opportunity to reinvent herself becoming a full time artist. Since then Yuliya has been continuously gaining attention of the international curators, art advisors and private art collectors all around the world.

Statement:

Independent, driven, yet fragile, her artistic ideology is a form of self-reflection. It lies with uncertain trajectory of a paper plane – a delicate vessel connecting space and time. The philosophical message shrouded in Yuliya’s elegant creations varies from painting to painting providing for less obvious emotional narrative.

Visualising chaotic or organised trajectories with her paper plane formations, she emphasises positive values of adaptive human behaviour and prevailing strength over perceived weakness. She also charges the little planes with an identity of a faceless portrait allowing for individual ability to overcome challenges facing unfamiliar highs in solitude or as a group.
